Implantable pressure sensors provide for the direct measurement of IOP, for example following cataract surgery. The implantable sensors can couple to the capsule, for example separately from an IOL (intraocular lens), such that the sensor can be used with many commercially available IOLs. The surgeon can identify an IOL appropriate for the patient and place the implantable sensor when the patient has been identified as having glaucoma or at risk for glaucoma. The implantable sensor device can be implanted during IOL surgery. |
